Currently

 

Back in the golden days of the internet - about 9 years ago - I followed so many blogs regularly and Dani Hampton was one of my favorites. She has a series of posts called "Currently" and it's basically just all the things you are currently doing/loving/enjoying. It's been awhile since I've done one so I figured why not?!

Listening To 

For the last year I really haven't been listening to music the way I used to. I haven't made a mix cd in ages which is really abnormal for me. Recently I've been trying to get back into it and listen to more songs on spotify since I pay for it. I don't want to put all the old and new songs I've been enjoying right here because I'd like to make that into its own post but I Lied by Lord Huron is a new soothing favorite.

Loving

The golden hour sunshine pouring through our bedroom windows each evening. A freshly made bed. Sunny/blue sky days. My ice face roller. Buying presents for the people I love. Falling back into reading again. Our dog, Rhodes. My favorite short sleeve palm tree sleep shirt. Watching Dateline episodes with Jeremy. 

Thinking About

I am trying to not think so much. I feel a compulsion to obsessively think of things so I'm trying to do better about it. And think joyful and hopeful things if I am thinking. There's just too much to overwhelm the mind with right now. I am thinking about how I can't wait to celebrate Jeremy's upcoming birthday and try to make it special and how nice outside it was today.

Dreaming Of

Since it's a dream, and we can dream of anything, I'm dreaming about the world not being crazy. The day I get to meet my soon to be born twin nephews. Wishing I could go to Maine  again when the world wasn't crazy. Dreaming of my friend Ashley being able to visit me and our house and the fun times we could have. Of miracles.

Watching

Ugh. I have been watching entirely too much TV lately - need to encourage myself to do other things more. Trash reality tv. Dateline episodes with Jeremy. I've been re-watching LOST again. Jeremy doesn't like it but I can tell sometimes he is drawn into the crazy storylines. And our go to happy favorites when we just need some easy watching: Seinfeld (Literally had an almost 24 hr marathon of Seinfeld this past weekend when I got sick and could not sleep plus we can watch them all a million times and still laugh), Gilmore Girls (duh) and some episodes of Reba. 

Reading

I'm always reading about a thousand books it seems. It's a running joke at work that I have way too many books checked out at all times (I work at a library) and can't keep up with them. I am going to try and do more book reviews soon but I recently finished my 40th book of the year (!!!) and that feels good. It was "Faith, Farming & Family" by Caitlin Henderson and I will go more in depth with it in a book post but there were some truly good faith/life reminders that I took away from it and kind of wish I owned it so I could go back to those pages and highlight. I am currently reading book #2 in the Paradise series by Elin Hilderbrand: What Happens in Paradise. They are fun beachy stories and I am enjoying it like usual.
